Computational grid is the most promising technology generally used for distributed environment. The issues associated with Grid task scheduling are resource discovery, heterogeneity and fault tolerance. Efficient scheduling algorithm is essential for effective utilization of the resources and reduces the makespan. This paper shows the performance of Balanced Minimum Execution Time task scheduling algorithm with other algorithms such as Min-Min, Load Balanced Min-Min (LBMM), Minimum Execution Time based on execution time, makespan, completion time and load balancing. The BMET scheduling algorithm increases the resource utilization and the load is balanced by rescheduling the resources. This survey shows that Balanced Minimum Execution Time outperforms the Min-Min, LBMM and Minimum Execution Time task scheduling algorithms.
